If you have design and UX chops, don’t hold back, they will be appreciated here.

Your Toolkit
- Collaboration: Git
- CMS: WordPress (what they currently use), Drupal or even a homegrown CMS; Having a working knowledge of WordPress Gutenberg Editor—especially the creation and maintenance of custom blocks for unique site needs—is a major plus.
- Front-end languages—React.js, ANGULAR, jQuery, Javascript
- HTML5, CSS3
- PHP

- AdTech: It’s great if you have a background integrating or working with ad-serving technologies (prebid, DFPP)
How you’ll know you’re a fit
You have a strong work ethic and a collaborative spirit. You’re a natural when it comes to context switching and can quickly roll with the punches when client priorities shift.

You have experience creating and integrating custom wordpress plugins, themes, working with WordPress hooks and filters. Strong knowledge of common PHP or web server exploits and their solutions is necessary.
The Inside Skinny
- Join up with a fully remote organization that will never go back to in-person—with quarterly team meet-ups that happen in NYC
